Varanasi mataji receives a “Shri Brihad Bhagavatamrita” set that was shipped to her home in New Jersey by Mahotsaha prabhu! Jay Srila Prabhupada!
Hare Bol Ji.....a lovely surprise at the door! Thank you.....I am sending you a pic....I know most take the pics with the books and themselves....I am sending a pic with my son's picture since it was in his name....That's my son, Lalu, at the Bank Bihari Ji Temple in Vrindavan. A couple of the mahants are family members. He is under a mosaic of Sri Hanumanji which I made about 12 years ago. He was a Hanumanji devotee. He would always remind me that it was his and not to give it away. I have lost my mother, father, only sibling, grandmother and even a child after only 2 days and Krishna Consciousness always made me strong....tears were few. But I was so ill prepared for the loss of Lalu. I know it was only Govinda who got me through the initial shock and duties. Srila Prabhupada's instruction in Srimad Bhagwatam that sustained me, but even still...getting close to one year now....memories are triggered by sights and sounds which bring melancholy and tears. I found writing has helped. At the time of his passing while at his side with Srila Prabhupada's kirtan playing, I prayed with all my strength to Srila Prabhupada to please make him his disciple over and over again.
Well sorry for this long message and again pranams to you and your whole glorious crew of Lord Nityananda's warriors - Varanasi mataji
